Collecting data
1 Accession number
This number serves as a unique identifier for accessions within a genebank collection, and is assigned when a sample is entered into the genebank collection.
Example: CGN00254

Number assigned to an accession by the donor.
Example: NGB1912
4 Collecting date of sample
Collecting date of the sample as YYYYMMDD. Missing data (MM or DD) should be indicated with hyphens. Leading zeros are required.
